Pros

Remote, great coworker but that's it.

Cons

If you're passionate about your career and value your time, Public Label is not the place for you. What I witnessed here was a textbook example of how not to run a business — toxic culture, favoritism disguised as leadership, and promises that evaporate the moment you sign your offer letter. Leadership consistently ignored employee well-being, allowed inappropriate behavior to go unchecked, and rewarded personal relationships over actual performance. Talented people were overworked, under-supported, and often silenced. The result? Sky-high turnover and a team in constant survival mode. At the time I left, the agency had only one active client — and even that relationship seemed unstable. The atmosphere was not one of growth or collaboration, but of damage control and disillusionment. Public Label isn’t just broken — it’s actively harmful to ambitious, ethical professionals. Do not let the polished branding fool you. This is your red flag. Your talent, energy, and mental health are worth far more than what you’ll get here. They are an embarrassment and miserable excuse for a marketing industry.

Pros

- Talented, hardworking peers who genuinely care and try to make things work despite a broken system - Remote flexibility (though used more to mask dysfunction than enable balance) - Creative work occasionally shines — when leadership stays out of the way

Cons

- Zero ethical accountability: Public Label routinely avoids legal and financial responsibility. From late wage payments to disputed PTO and payroll “errors,” there’s a culture of denial and delay rather than resolution. - Leadership operates with impunity: Those at the top are unapproachable, unaccountable, and out of touch. They deflect criticism, retaliate against those who speak up, and foster a fear-based environment where silence is survival. - HR is negligent and complicit: HR fails to act in good faith, mishandles sensitive issues, and cannot be trusted to uphold even basic employment standards. Delayed responses, lost records, and incomplete documentation are frequent and harmful. Abuse of hourly and freelance workers: The company regularly disputes or delays proper payment to event and hourly staff. This is not a clerical issue; it's a pattern of minimizing costs at the direct expense of the people doing the work. - Chronic client loss: Longtime clients walk away quietly and frequently due to poor execution, chaotic internal operations, and lack of professionalism. Instead of accountability, leadership buries these losses and shifts blame downward. - Empty promises and performative values: The company promotes wellness, DEI, and creative culture, but these are buzzwords with no substance behind them. When problems arise, employees are left unprotected and unheard. - Turnover is relentless: Talented employees leave regularly because burnout, disrespect, and disillusionment are built into the daily culture. The revolving door is never addressed.
